| 1 | And Abraham took another wife named Keturah. |
| 2 | And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. |
| 3 | And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim, and the Leummim. |
| 4 | And the sons of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah. |
| 5 | And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. |
| 6 | And to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and, while he yet lived, sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward to the east country. |
| 7 | And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years. |
| 8 | And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and full [of days]; and was gathered to his peoples. |
| 9 | And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which was opposite to Mamre -- |
| 10 | the field that Abraham had purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. |
| 11 | And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi. |
| 12 | And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham. |
| 13 | And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names according to their generations: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, |
| 14 | and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, |
| 15 | Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedmah. |
| 16 | These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their hamlets and their encampments—twelve princes of their peoples. |
| 17 | And these are the years of the life of Ishmael: a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples. |
| 18 | And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt, as one goes towards Assyria. He settled before the face of all his brethren. |
| 19 | And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac. |
| 20 | And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian. |
| 21 | And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca his wife conceived. |
| 22 | And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah. |
| 23 | And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And one people shall be stronger than the other people, And the elder shall serve the younger. |
| 24 | And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. |
| 25 | And the first came out red—all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. |
| 26 | And after that came his brother out; and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when they were born. |
| 27 | And the boys grew, and Esau became a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a homely man, dwelling in tents. |
| 28 | And Isaac loved Esau, because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob. |
| 29 | And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint. |
| 30 | And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the red —the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom. |
| 31 | And Jacob said, Sell me now thy birthright. |
| 32 | And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me? |
| 33 | And Jacob said, Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. |
| 34 | And Jacob gave Esau bread and the dish of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised the birthright. |
